Former Cy Young Award winner Dallas Keuchel is signing a minor league deal with the Minnesota Twins, according to New York Post MLB reporter Jon Heyman.
Few details are available at the moment, but it comes with the Twins having experienced injuries in its starting rotation this season, with Tyler Mahle and Chris Paddack out for the long-term, and Kenta Maeda on his way back following an almost two-month layoff.

The 35-year-old Keuchel won the Cy Young in 2015 with the Houston Astros, and was heavily linked with the Twins in 2019 when he was one of the hottest free agent pitchers on the market.
He opted to join the Atlanta Braves, and then joined the Chicago White Sox for the COVID-shortened 2020 season, finishing 5th in the Cy Young rankings after compiling an ERA of just 1.99.
He struggled in 2021 however, winning just 9 games with an ERA of 5.28 across 162 innings. He bounced around in 2022, pitching 60 innings between three teams with an ERA of 9.20.
